Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The single most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become worn. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to pinpoint the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our technicians find leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slight water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall.
